Made mine out of heavy interior pressed board stuff that's normally used for things like door panels, and upholstery on top of that. Front and sides wedge in, back has two screws to secure it.

cardboard will be a huge help when designing these. More specs on what you're ultimately trying to accomplish would be great... ie just closing up the trunk to make it look neat, or something super custom with a sub enclosure, battery mounting etc.

well i have a custom box with 2 10's pushed all the way to the rear seat and my battery box is on the passenger side but i dont need a full custom look just a neat way to enclose the sides and the back area around the tail pan.
